New Look for Bob Nichols Court


Helgren just tweeted that he's seen the design, and has never seen anything quite like it. Wonder what that means?

Interesting. I never liked the font on the baselines. Other than that our court looks pretty sharp. The rocket is large and in charge.

If we let them know we're about to riot, maybe they'll fill in the vacuum with a photo of the new court. But if it's Coach Nichols courtsized face, I'm out.

I really wish they would have presented options for fans to vote on. This is what Ohio State and multiple other teams have done recently. Honestly, with Coach TK and our marketing team, I'm scared to death to see the finished product.... I hope I'm wrong and it turns out great...

Regardless the court has needed a face lift for MANY years. I'm glade to see it finally made the list of improvements!

Only time will tell...

"improvements?" So you know something?

I don't see what was needed to improve. It's wood. It has baskets on both ends.

I think it looks fine as is (or was). The original composite floor was awful. I’m pretty much a fan of minimalism for hoops floors. Still, excited to see final result.

The floor hasn't looked like that photo since about 2013

The font that I don't like is "Bob Nichols Court." Either use his signature or use a proper font instead of one that is pseudo-cursive.

I honestly haven't noticed the baselines when I go to games and do like how the gold letters stand out on TV against the midnight blue paint. The huge Rocket is my favorite part of the floor and hopefully that stays.

What's different that needs to be "fixed?"

The three point line just changed again so instead of tape or removing the old paint they probably decided to re-do it all.

The current key is wood color and inside the three point line is a lighter wood color.

The floor has looked faded over the years. Especially with the new lighting. It at least needed a new paint job a couple of years ago. Most D-1 schools are refinishing the floors every 3 years. I would love to know when the last time the floor was finished??

I would love to see a new upgraded center scoreboard in the very near future. The current one looks extremely outdated compared to other MAC schools. It would obviously help with advertising. I doubt it gets an upgrade any time soon. I hope I'm wrong!

I like a solid very light colored floor with all the court the same light wood color. And I prefer bold logos and lettering and that’s about it. For me this is truly a case of “ less is more”.

Go Rockets!!!
